Niantic won't neglect Pokemon GO for upcoming Harry Potter game

It was recently revealed that Niantic is working on Harry Potter: Wizards Unite for mobile devices. This lead some fans to worry that Pokemon GO was going to be shelved in favor of the new project. Niantic has taken to their blog to assuage fears.

Just like many of you, we're super excited about Harry Potter: Wizards Unite and are working hard with our partners at Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, and WB Games San Francisco’s development team to bring that to life. However, we–the Pokémon GO development team–want to say that we are 100% committed to creating an ever-changing and growing game that gets our players exploring, meeting each other, and deepening their connection to the Pokémon universe. We're actively expanding the Pokémon GO development team to build many more amazing features in 2018. Stay tuned for an update next week on upcoming improvements to certain features.
